It has been 25 years since the movie School of Rock premiered. School of Rock, a trademarked brand that started in a single Philadelphia location in the 90s, is now wanting to spread its distinctive music teaching platform around the world. It has become a renowned international sensation over the years. This organisation currently runs 350 music classes in 15 nations found on the continents of Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The growth of the music chain has been steady, with the business having opened 26 branches in the last nine months and expecting to build an extra 200 in the US. School of Rock is aiming to spread its distinctive teaching style of music, which is based on playing, and its unique program to England, France, Germany, Italy, and India. The franchise is searching for dedicated franchisees to complete this venture. The franchise has won several awards for excellence from the industry. In 2023, Global Franchise, Entrepreneur and Franchise Business Review lauded School of Rock for awards – such as the best children’s service & education franchise, the most recession-proof company, and one of the top-100 most innovative franchises. The School of Rock Method™ was so exceptional that it got its own U.S. patent in 2021. Unlike other music schools, School of Rock makes an effort to educate students on group rehearsals and live performances in addition to one-on-one instruction – enabling them to learn how to play in a band. The low complexity of logistics, supply chains, technology, language, and operations makes School of Rock particularly attractive. Furthermore, while everyone is familiar with popular music and its power to enrich the lives of children, School of Rock is unique due to its ability to localize its celebrations of popular music, instilling core musical knowledge. According to School of Rock, “this is a thrilling period in which we are continuing to gain traction and spread out across the globe to achieve our ambition of enriching people’s lives through music.”
